Everything That You Need to Know About Keratin Hair TreatmentsThursday, November 15, 2018

Keratin treatments are the new trend. However, not everyone knows what a keratin treatment includes, and some people are even confused about when to opt for it. For this reason, to make it easy for you to decide if a keratin treatment is for you, we have listed down everything you need to know about keratin hair treatments.

Keratin treatments have the best results for frizzy and curly hairstyles. That being said, it would be best to consult the designer who will carry out the treatment to know for sure if the keratin will work and the effects it will have.

What is a Keratin Treatment?

Your hair is made of keratin itself. This treatment adds the much-needed protein back in your hair, which has been lost because of chemical treatments or other factors. As the process entails nourishing your hair, you can expect less frizzy and shinier hair.
The results of the treatment can last for at least 6 months but, obviously, it differs for every person.

There are also many different versions of the treatment. So, make sure that you consult your designer and hairstylist for the perfect blend. The consultation will allow for the perfect keratin hair treatment.

How Long Does the Process Take?

There is no fixed time for the process. The length of the time depends on the hairstylist, the type of keratin treatment that is being used, hair texture, and the thickness and length of your hair. The minimum time would be around 3 hours, but it can definitely take more time.

How is it Different from Chemical Relaxants?

First, straightening chemical relaxers are permanent. The effects of keratin wash out after some time that is why you should do it more often.

Second, the ingredients used in the two processes are also different. Because the chemical relaxants use sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc., they damage the hair. With this treatment, your hair will become weaker over time. On the other hand, in a keratin treatment, protein is injected in your hair instead of chemicals. This treatment is to restore the proteins that your hair are lacking. This is why your hair feels smoother and stronger after the treatment.

Can keratin treatment be carried out on chemically relaxed hair?

Yes, this treatment can be carried out. It can restore the health of your hair.

How Much Does the Keratin Treatment Cost?

The cost of the treatment differs depending on the hair texture and length. Hence, there is no estimate. The best way to know the price is to opt for a consultation.
